A solar receiver (), for capturing solar radiation, comprising a radiation capturing element () and a channel () around that element, through which channel () a pressurized working fluid is passed to absorb thermal energy from the radiation capturing element.

Solar receiver, method of cooling a solar receiver and a power generation system

An apparatus for thermochemical conversion of solid carbonaceous materials into fluid fuels using a fluid source of oxygen and an external source of concentrated radiation includes a reactor having a wall defining a cavity; a radiation inlet positioned in the wall for passing concentrated radiation into the cavity; and at least one inlet for introducing a fluid reactant flow of a source of oxygen and particles of carbonaceous material into direct exposure to the concentrated radiation in the cavity so as to heat and thermochemically convert the particles into fluid fuel. A process and system are also provided. The fluid source of oxygen is preferably steam and the carbonaceous material is preferably particles of petcoke.
